Her latest project uses tropes from speculative fiction to shed light on our folk intuitions – i.e. our pre-theoretic, common sense answers to philosophical questions.

Steph drinks too much tea, reads a lot, plays J/RPGs and speaks with an Australian accent. Treasured possessions include three different copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, a well-travelled Buffy boxset, and a variety of teapots.
